🇸🇪 Sweden — World Cup 2026 Knockout Watch Parties in NYC

WorldCup.NYC Editorial — June 25, 2026

Where the Sweden Community Watches in NYC

Sweden qualified as one of the best third-place teams after their 1-1 draw with Japan — a dramatic late escape that keeps Blågult in the tournament. NYC's Swedish community is small but concentrated in Midtown and the Upper East Side. Scandinavian bars are welcoming and low-key.

• Midtown East (50s) — Scandinavia House (Park Ave) is the cultural hub. Nearby bars show major European matches.
• Upper East Side — Swedish expat presence alongside other Scandinavian communities. Local bars on 2nd and 3rd Ave.
• Williamsburg, Brooklyn — Younger Scandinavian expat crowd. Several bars with European football screens.
• Nevada Smith's (E 11th St) — NYC's most famous soccer bar, shows every knockout match regardless of teams.
